What type of keris is this?
Hello,
I have a keris that doesn't seem to have any pamor, can anyone tell me more information about it based on its style and form? Thanks so much! Kind regards, apolaki |

This is a javanese keris, Yogyakarta. The pamor will come out after the warangan treatment. This keris certainly has pamor.

This kris is from Solo and not Yogyakarta (at least the broken scabbard in ladrang style) and from the pic I am not sure that it has pamor
I attach the pic of a similar kris with pamor keleng (no apparent pamor). Regards Last edited by Jean; 20th May 2016 at 02:10 PM. |

Yes Jean, you're right Surakarta. My mistake in a hasty answer during bussy work this afternoon.
I think the blade has pamor. I've seen more blades in that condition that appeared in good pamor blades after warangan treatment. The pamor keleng is rather rare on javanese keris. |

Anyone think the blade (not the sheath, of course) could be Maduran. I was told once that the gandik of Maduran keris often lean inwards as this one does.

Sorry, I am having trouble uploading photos. Are these clearer for evaluating the keris's particularities? Thanks again!
